Ok, what do you think would happen if we show up late in SFO and miss our first DONE4 flight [and I can show them it was because UAL canceled SYD-SFO].
Do you think SFO would let us go standby on the handwritten DONE4 tickets?
Do you think the rest of our DONE4 reservation would be 'safe'?
Normally I would risk this at then end of a cheap trip, but at the beginning of an expensive trip?
